=======================================
As a physical therapist, I work with a lot of people for a lot of reasons.
As a very general rule, most of the problems you have or will encounter in your body can be solved with one of two recommendations.
Stretch the areas where you are tight.
Strengthen the areas where you are weak.
In this video, I’m sharing 8 of the best stretches to help you to improve your overall flexibility and mobility.
In fact, to create this video I simply selected the 8 stretches that I give to patients the most often in my clinic and pressed “record”!
These are wonderful stretches that help to improve mobility in the spine, upper body, and lower body, and are incredibly effective at helping to reduce pain and increase function/activity.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I STRETCH
You should come back and perform these exercises at least once every single day to achieve maximum benefit and effectiveness.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS
This is always a hard question to answer because it depends on so many factors. How long you’ve been tight, your age, your health, your activity level, etc all play a role in how quickly you will respond to the stretches demonstrated in this video.
For most people, you should start to see an improvement within about 4-6 weeks of consistently performing these exercises.
This routine should take approximately 10 minutes to get through from start to finish.
=======================================
8 STRETCHES YOU SHOULD DO EVERYDAY
1. LUMBAR SPINE ROTATION STRETCH (0:24)

I love that you showed us the “moves” but I wish you could film one that was in real time, giving us a little more time to do each stretch together! Thank you for being an amazing teacher! Bravo
Awesome video! At 57, I am learning that there is more to life than cardio and that I must intentionally stretch and strengthen EVERYTHING and IN EVERY DIRECTION in order to have fewer aches and pains.
Yes, absolutely!
Learning this at 23 😭 my lower back is killing me!
Learning this AT 13!!

Quality content like this is what keeps me coming back!
Very good video. Be very careful if recovering from an injury though. I was recovering well from a leg strain. I was doing glute exercise , on my back on the floor, pulled back my knee twords the opposite shoulder. No pain at all but I had strained something under my knee that left me in pain for two days
I slept wrong, so my neck and shoulder are knotted and messed up. I also worked a 12 hour day and I am extremely tight and in pain. I did every stretch in the video and I feel exponentially better now, I will be doing these tomorrow, and hopefully every day as well thank you so much for making this! Subscribed, and will definitely will be checking out more of your content!
I am so glad this helped and thanks so much for your support!
Love seeing informative posts like this on my feed!
Your posts never fail to make me smile
Great program. Thank you! Any information on rest between sets? Can you do the other side directly after, e.g. right/left and the use that as rest time for right? Or best to do right first all sets, then left all sets?
This channel has opened my mind and body to a new way of getting fit and flexible. Absolutely love it!
I am so glad to hear that!
This is a breath of fresh air on social media!
Thanks alot for sharing this great content

Just what I was looking for- basic stretching exercises.

Thx Doc. I’ve been doing these stretches each morning while my coffee is brewing. Great way to get the day started.
Awesome! Glad you are enjoying them.
The CAT/COW and Neck stretches were probably the hardest to do for me first time. I couldn't reach 30, but I definitely want to try out other stretches to optimize how long I can perform them through repetition. Most of the time it feels stiff when I keep doing that position for too long. CAT/COW the wrists start to feel like it's under a lot of pressure for example.
This is great content, thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
As usual Many thanks Sir . God bless you and give you more knowledge. Keep the Good vibes coming 👍

Been dealing with knee pain for a few months and finally addressed it at chiropractor. Got an adjustment on my hips and been going through your hip and knee stretching content and am seeing great results. Thank you for creating this content.

What time of day should I do these? Before or after work? Should I do a walking warmup before I do them ?
Just wondering if these are all good for people who have osteopenia, I was diagnosed earlier this year. I want to improve my mobility and strength. Thanks, have subscribed.
These are perfect!! You targeted all the body parts that ached the most on my body!! I’m doing these every morning and night! 😢 Thank you!!!!🙏
You're so welcome!
I'm new to your UA-cam channel.
The cow stretch gave me an incredible back pain. What to do? Less? Different?
Thank you I will make this my everyday stretch.
You are welcome, carmen ross! I hope you find these beneficial.
Thanks. I really like the stuff you do.
Thanks so much! I appreciate your support!
I just want to say a big THANK YOU! I was having neck pain most of my adult life (I’m 28 now) and I just thought it was normal. I came across your video of strengthening your neck, and upper back, and I now live pain free!
I cannot express how thankful I am! I am feeling great, and living my life to the fullest. I never knew how not normal my neck pain was until it disappeared. Thank you for your knowledge and sharing it with us. It literally changes lives.
Thank you! God bless you!
This comment totally made my day, Kyle! Thank you so much! I hope the things I share continue to help you, and thanks for commenting!
Same here
Seeing this comment gives me hope. I’m 27 and as a mechanic by trade I’m worried about my body. I have neck and back pain constantly
You are amazing! Thank you ❤️

Love these stretches. Will ensure to add to my routine. Thanks much.
You're so welcome, Nadine! I am glad you like them and I hope they help!
I was getting pain through my upper gluts (below my hipps) through the night and I started your eight minute stretch sequence about three months ago and the improvement has been fantastastic! Thank you so much

Easy way And it's Very much Useful 💯
Great to hear!
Would you be able to do a video on wrist stretches and strengthening? My wrists hurt any time I have my hands “palms down” on the ground for exercising. I have to make fists instead (or do some other variation) in order to complete the exercise. Even wall push-ups are painful on the wrists.

Thankyou..Great routine
Thanks so much! I am glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing video thankyou
My pleasure!
This is really brilliant! For 2 reasons, this guy explains and understands how exercise actually works. He explains the process of how the body makes “adaptations” when it is stressed and it’s these adaptations that we are after. In a way it’s counter intuitive. For example would you buy a high mileage car or a low mileage one that’s not been used much or driven hard. Well the answer is obvious. But would you choose a high mileage husband/wife who has done loads of activity or a low mileage one who has rested, not exerted in any way etc. Oh I’m in pain, my joints are stiff, I need to take more pain killers and take more rest. Appropriate exercise will create new tissue and modify existing tissue that will hurt less. Then the other reason why this is so good is because this guy as examined “modern life” activity, the body modifies to this regime and along with that comes pain and suffering. This is because over millions of years of evolution the body has evolved into a structure that is meant to bend and reach in a vast range of directions and when this vast range of directions does not happen the body starts seizing up, toxins build up, bone, tendons and ligaments weaken with the result that the natural cycle of waste removal within all the tissues compromises and then pain. So this guy has created stretches to offset these things, plain and simple, not a collection of bits and pieces from the world of yoga/pilates/tai chi etc and thrown together with no clear aim
Thanks so much for your kind comment, Jan! I hope this video helps you out!
I am 4 weeks post robotic inguinal surgery what exercises can I do. i used to do resistance bands, simply fit board, 15 lb wieghts

Thank you so much, Dayaram fitness! I hope these things help you personally and professionally, and thanks for commenting!
This helped me very much thanks so much!!
You're welcome!
Do you offer any neck stretches other than ones that involve pressure on the neck with a towel? I've had whiplash before, get ccasional vertigo, and am hesitant to do any exercise that adds neck pressure, so I'll pass on that part. The other stretches are great though.
Thanks!
Why u give money
As always your videos are so helpful. For the first stretch, which is the lumbar rotation stretch, should I be tightening my abs?
Helpful stuff. I get really tight shoulder muscles, especially on the right side of the neck down to the top of the right shoulder (rugby and biking injuries). Is there a specific, targetted excercise you would recommend? Thanks from the UK.

Hello, stretching exercises are really great for the body☀. I increased my height by 4 inches in 4 months and this result is truly incredible for me. During this period, I used Shiydf and did regular stretching exercises every week. I hope everyone achieves their dreams!
It's very useful to me thanks so much
Thank you so much, reba das! I hope these things help you, and thanks for commenting!
Try "SURYA NAMASKARA" from yoga ..
GOOD STUFF
What should I do for intercostal muscles (like the rib on the side of body )
Is there a foam roller exercise I can substitute for the chair upper back and neck exercise with the towel?
I am 40, work out regularly. I still think I am in my 20ies and do minimal stretches. I have started feeling all sorts of tightness in many different areas of my body. I did these eight recommended stretches for almost 80% of the reps, and I feel much better. I will do this at least 2-3 times a week, and I think it will make the body even better with flexibility and mobility. Thank you for the excellent video.👏
You are welcome! I am glad you are enjoying it!
great video 👍
Thank you 👍 I hope these help!

I thought your stretches were unique, well explained and within my range. I can already feel the relief. One minor issue. Your sound is echoing. It is the only thing that makes the video lacking. Very minor. I am subscribing. Thanks.
